Don't know what the fuss is all about. In a different life, I used to work 120days, no days off, and often sometimes work up to 24hrs a day if the job required it! That was often in 40degreeC temps too! The Philipinos I worked with worked up to 10-12 months, 12hrs+ a day, no days off! Then they'd go home, have a month or 2 off, then back again.
Pilots have it so bloody easy and all they do is complain. Thay all want more money and more time off. Tut Tut.

There is a small disclaimer somewhere i'm sure. Something about pilots not reporting for duty if they consider themselves unfit to fly? Wouldn't that be useful if you feel too tired to work?
